• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

"Women remember the men who made them laugh, men the women who made them cry."

Henri de Regnier

Quoting someone on a website without an accompanying comment suggests approval, or at least, not disapproval, of the quote. It makes me feel uncomfortable and I don't think it's a good image for Litopia.

Women are not superior to men. If there was a quote posted that claimed men are superior, there would be an outcry.

Women are remembered for making men laugh and men can also cry just as much as women. To claim otherwise is dodgy. Young guys these days are encouraged to express their feelings in a way that they weren't when I was growing up, and that can only be a good thing.
